Some summer programs show off the logos of colleges their students got into, implying the summer program helped. Like some, we recruit only top-performing students, who will get into great universities anyway.

Logos don't tell you much about a summer program, except that it attracts great students. Our average SAT is over 1450; you'll be in great company.

If you are a top-performing student, you will stand out if you can present evidence that you can perform and make an impact anywhere you go. That's what we help you with. See our page, "Why Our Alumni Win."

Finally, here is a thought to consider from an Ivy League college admissions consultant:
"Big-name programs such as Harvard Summer School and CTY do not move the needle of admissions all that much. Their great value is the potential for a transformative experience which the student can write about in their essays or even better, help focus their entire college application. Futures Forge can do that just as well as those programs, by teaching real world skills, inspiring students to live up to their potential, and giving a taste of professions which might narrow down their target colleges and proposed areas of study."

First, sign up for the newsletter. We will announce all in-person and virtual public information sessions that you can attend. We encourage you to pre-apply. If you are prequalified for the College Accelerator, we will invite you to submit your questions to us.

Contrast us with "Oxford Royale Berkely Summer School," which is not affiliated with either Oxford or Berkeley universities. We are not interested in trying to borrow the credibility of a university, or fool you into thinking that we are affiliated.

At Futures Forge, students forge their futures. In a Forge, raw material is turned into something powerful through heat and pressure, precisely applied in controlled ways with a specific outcome in mind.

Futures Forge is not a gentle place; there is no coddling. Students feel precisely-designed pressure and heat. They channel this to become strong and flexible, like the steel of our namesake. With this character, they build their futures.

Yes. Futures Forge’s admissions process does not discriminate based on national origin. Successful applicants will be required to demonstrate a strong command of the English language, and all students will be required to obtain their own visas for six- to ten-week entry into all countries in which we hold our Courses.

Futures Forge facilitators have a passion for, and track record with, successfully accelerating young adults. Each is deeply trained in Futures Forge’s learning approach and methodology.

Not yet, unless the course they choose for their Technical Certificate is accepted for Transfer Credit by the college they attend. We are working with universities now to gain credits for the course work you’ll do with Futures Forge.

Yes! All scholarships are merit-based, using the same process and scoring as our standard application. Currently, students are automatically enrolled in the scholarship pool when they apply.

It doesn’t. Our policy, available on our About page, is that our admissions process does not discriminate based on demographic factors such as sex, race, color, or nationality. We do not believe in any non-meritorious discrimination in recruiting for members of Futures Forge.
